EMMY declares it to be the only proper and
correct one. When, for instance six women,
learned authorities in their line, differ each
from the other five as to the simple process

child culturef Or can she decide among the
many authorities without danger of errora
The only safe method of procedure, if she
wonld avoid being driven to hopeless despair,
if not to crime, through the effort to guide
herself by conflicting instructions, seems to
be to carefully avoid all literature Of this char
acter until such time as she has learned by
practice and experience how to keep house
and how to manage her children. Then,
when it is entirely innocuous, and brain-soft-

PROTECTION FOR TRAVELLERS.

A bill providing for the examination of
ing in the Georgia Legislature, and, oddly
enough, is being opposed by railroad managers
themselves. The claim is made by some ex-
perienced railroaders that an accident arising
from color blindness on the part of an en-
ploye was almost unknown, one superintend-
emit of thirty years experience going SO far as
to affirm that not one disaster occurring dur
ing the past forty years was the result of such
cause. The weight of such an assertion as
this is considerably weakened by the fact that
the custom of railroad managers is to conceal
from the public if possible, all exact knowl-
edge Of the causes of such calamities, and for
this reason it is difficult to verify statement
of this kind. Accidents may not have hap
pened because the engineer conductor was
color- blind. but the people who travel have
no positive official assurance that such
was the case, and are disposed to
think that the risk is at least great enough
to be guarded against The proposed law is
also opposed because it provides for test
which shall include not only the primary
colors but a large number of shades and tints.
This objection seems to be we'll founded,
since it is only the primary colors, red, blue,
green, etc, that are in signals On
the other hand, however, the Reading Rail-
road Company in Pennsylvania has of its own
motion established a test for its employees

argument is made in this case that if the men
can distinguish the primary colors they can as

this is an incorrect assumption many persons
will bear witness. Dry goods clerks, for in

testify that only long study and experience
enable them to distinguish with accu-
racy the innumerable shades of color

ponents of the law have the right OF the argu-
ment, but they unwise in objecting to
restriction that is intended for the protection
of the travelling public. If railroad compa-
MES had established reputation for looking
after the safety of passengers above all other
duties the necessity for calling upon the law
would be less obvious, but the case being
otherwise. they must submit to what they,
in company with Jefferson Davis, probably
regard as 'too much government" The
pity is that such law has not been passed by
more States.

MINOR MENTION.

THE baseball curves and the method of their
production are now scientifically explained.
Professor Proctor has analysed the shape and
resistance of the mass of air accumulated in
front of the whirling ball. and it ID well known
that the curves in OF out, up dawn, cannot be
produced with ball pitched in a vacuum. At
first, PHYSICISTS who had not investigated it,
denied that curving balls could be pitched but
the fact remained that balls were pitched around
the center one of three stakes in line, or either
above or below the middle of three horizon
tai lines. 1t is all done by a peculiar jerk or
snap of the forearm and hand, different sets of
muscles being called into play IN giving the diff
ferent curves. The work is of the severest kind
while it lasts. The game depends mainly on
the pitcher, and if he give the ball swiftness
and controls the curves at will his average in
come is greater than college presidents. But
pitching has its drawbacks All kinds of pitch
ing strain the elbow joint. The pitcher suffers
from soreness, tenderness, muscle pains, and
severe, continuous sicknening pains due to
strain upon the bones, stiffness and weakness of
the arm from strainine of the muscles and liga-
ments; and actual rupture of small muscular
bundles is a common result of good pitching.
DR.. Leuf, of Philadelphia. good ball-player
and also a good anatonist and physician, states
that in cases of long standing the bones become
affected. This is common at the ends of the
bones and shows itself Inflammation. The
muscles are affected near the end of the bones
where the bono structure is soft and por Gus.
The total result to the bone is Inflammation
ofthe bone itselfand of the bone covering (ostet-
is and periostitis). attended with enlargement Of
the bone ends and joints. DR.. Leuf does not
say that the best treatment is to stop, for that
advice would be disregar6ed. like the advice to
smokers to stop smoking. He concludes from
his own experience that the cure is not rest but
exercise. The pitcher must practice regularly
daily in the sun, and avoid pitching in the shade.

The Towns of Hakoi and Monghai, in

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. -Advices
from Hongkong by the steamer City
of Pekin say that Capt. Drake, OF the
British steamer Normauton, which
was wrecked of the japanese coast
near Kobe, cntailing n loss of twenty
six Japanese passengers, has been
found guilty of manslaughter in
abandoning his vessel while passen-
gers we're still aboard He was SEN
fenced to three months imprison-
ment.
The IIongkong Mail says that the
troubles IN the frontier of
Tonquin.C China have assumed the
most serious proportions. News
has been brought from Pakhoi TO
Hong Kong by the German steamer
Signal that n large fleet of Chinese
pirates attacked the French garrison
at Hakoi, on November "a, and after
three days siege completely annihi-
lated il. They also attacked Monghai
with similar result. The latter is a
town ten miles from the coast on the
border line of China and Tonquin.
No particulars of the massacre which
occurred at Monghai were given. lla-
koi is about thirty-Gve miles south OF
Monghai on the coast. The French
had a small fertilization there with a
garrison of sixty men under command
of Lieut.. Mcmahon, nephew of Mar
shall Mcmahon. After a three days
siege only twenty-three of the garri-
son remained alive, and these made a
sortie, but not n survived. The
latest information stated that the
cities Of Hakoi and Monghai had been
fired. IL is believed that the same
